Pros

Many opportunities across teams. Lots of flexibility. Advantages of working for a big company. Get to work with many talented people.

Cons

Its a very big company. Lots of competition. Can be slow moving at times. Sometimes working or collaboration between groups is not efficient.

Pros

Work with smart people. Work on cool technology at times. The stock awards are nice. Able to work independently or as a team.

Cons

Very competitive environment even though rewards are dubious at best. Not a lot of innovation left at Microsoft. There is too much bureaucracy in decision making. Not clear vision for the future. Have not pushed on beyond Windows/Office juggernaut
